Consider a system (e.g. a computer farm or a call center) operating as a M/M/c queue, where c = 1, or 1 < c < ∞, or c = ∞. The system as a whole suffers disastrous break...
We consider the sequencing of a series of jobs that arrive at a single processor over time. At each job's arrival time, a due date must be quoted for the job, and the job must...
Consider a stable open Jackson Network with a tree topology. Customers arrive at the single root of the tree. The system is stable in the sense that the average service rate at ea...
We propose a region-based method to extract semantic foreground regions from color video sequences with static backgrounds. First, we introduce a new distance measure for backgrou...
This paper proposes an objective video quality metric based on an analysis of spatial and temporal distortions. Spatial quality features extracted from the spatiotemporal region o...
